After you open your box and take
out your mail stand up close to the
box and read your letters and news
papers. It will be interesting to vout
neighbor, who stands behind you, as
ho is in no hurry to gel to his box, and
that affords amusement to the busi
ness men who are never in a hurry
about anything.
Bo sure to go round to the window
of tho Post-master, and watch him
distribute the mails. He is very Inno-
y at such times, aud company is all
: he needs to make him supremely hap

Closed its engagement in Alhnuy last

Huntley possesses rare theatrical till

The last number of the Hawkins-

from Tom. Rycroft and Dick Dowdy
concerning the difficulty that occurr
ed in Isabella several weeks ago,
which we know from the facts iu the
ease is false. The statement as pub

a party of meu from about Warwick

between Henry Rouse and George

Soon after tho occurrence wo stated
the facts of the case, and we are sorry
that we have to refer again to the

the time the bells were sending forth

ourself snugly ensconced in tha ueat

procured lady assistance to go in

Foiling assured thnt the search had
to be thorough, we entered every pop

livery-stables, until, exhausted and
footsore, we halted at the popular
milliner)' establishment of Mrs. 2L

mistook them for clerks, and was
about to ask the price of a shawl,
(which we afterwards learned to be
$10, jnst $9.75 more than wc had) but
Mrs. G. came in and explained the
matter, - and we soon joined our
charges in a stroll through the city.
Their complaints were loud against
the Commercial—such an elegant din
